• a panel including an inner portion and an outer portion;
• a shape-retaining member disposed about the outer portion of the panel, the shape-retaining member being movable between a coiled configuration and an uncoiled configuration;
• a first buoyant member disposed about at least a portion of the outer portion of the panel;
• and
• a second buoyant member disposed below the first buoyant member, the second buoyant member configured to move at least a portion of the inner portion of the panel from a first configuration when the second buoyant member is deflated and in which the at least a portion of the inner portion of the panel is positioned at a first angle with respect to the remaining portion of the inner portion of the panel and a second configuration when the second buoyant member is inflated and in which the at least a portion of the inner portion of the panel is positioned at a second angle less than the first angle with respect to the remaining portion of the inner portion of the panel.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a panel including an inner portion and an outer portion, the inner portion of the panel including a mesh material, the panel defining an opening configured to collectively receive a user's legs therethrough, the opening being outside the inner portion of the panel;
• a shape-retaining member disposed about the outer portion of the panel, the shape-retaining member being movable between a coiled configuration and an uncoiled configuration;
• a back support member coupled to at least part of the panel;
• and
• a buoyant member disposed about at least a portion of the outer portion of the panel, the buoyant member having a front portion, the front portion of the buoyant member and the back support member being disposed at opposite locations of the inner portion of the panel and separated by a length of the inner portion of the panel, the front portion of the buoyant member being disposed between the inner portion of the panel and the opening,
• the combination of the buoyant member, the panel and the back support member being collectively configured to support the user in a seated position.

An apparatus, comprising:
